The Hapa Project:
"Kip Fulbeck began The Hapa Project as a forum for Hapas to answer the question "What are you?" in their own words and be pictured in simple head-on portraits. Traveling throughout the country, he photographed over 1200 people from all walks of life - from babies to adults, construction workers to rock stars, gangbangers to pro surfers, schoolteachers to porn stars, engineers to comic book artists. The project now manifests as a book, traveling photographic exhibition, and online community." Link
